JAMES G. BAILEY, OF NEW GLASGOV, CANADA.

SAD-IRON HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 451,104, dated April 28, 1891.

I Application filed September 18, 1890. Serial No. 365 ,434. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES G. BAILEY, of New Glasgow, in the Province of Nova Scotia, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Sad- Iron Heaters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention, which will be hereinafter fully set forth and claimed, relates to devices for inclosing sad-irons while being heated.

Figure 1 is a top view of my improved heater, showing the same closed. Fig.2 is a top view of the same, showing the top open. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the same on line a; as, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the same on line y y, Fig. 1, and Fig. 5 is a top view showing a modification of the same.

A is a circular plate adapted to fit and be supported in a stove-hole.

B is a box integrally formed and connected with said plate, approximately taking the outline of and being somewhat larger than a sadiron. Said box is formed to depend downward from the plate A and is continued upward above said plate, so as to form an upward-projecting or raised rim b. Said box is V intended for the reception of the iron to be heated. On one or both sides of said box are formed holes or recesses a, in the plate A, adapted for the insertion of a lifting iron or handle, said holes being suitably inclosed below the plate. The top of said box is provided with a swivel-cover in one piece or in the iron is placed in the box. A rib a, level with the top of the rim 6, is provided on the top of the plate A on that side of the box to which the cover swings, or on both sides if the cover is in two halves, to form a support for said cover when open or when being moved. Downwardly-projecting lugs c are provided near the inner'edges of the cover-halves, so placed as to form stops against the rim b to prevent them being turned too far aside. Opposite the pivots C and in a line with the center of the box-B is'a lug b", projecting upward from the rim bto form a stop for each half of the cover when closed, the latter being provided with checks 0" to fit said lug. Knobs c' are provided on the top of the cover, serving as handles for opening and closing the same.

Heaters intended for box-irons have the cover preferably in one piece, as shown in Fig. 5, openings for handles not being then required.

I claim as my invention 1. In a sad-iron heater, the combination of the circular plate A, having lifter-holes a and bearing-ribs a, the box B, integrally formed with said plate and depending therefrom and having the upwardly-projecting rim 1) and the lug b, and the cover 0, pivoted to the lug b and provided with knob c, substantially as set forth.

2. In a sad-iron heater, the combination of the circular plate A, having lifter-holes a and bearing ribs (1, the box B, integrally formed with said plate and depending therefrom and having the upwardly-projecting rim Z) and the lugs b and b", and the cover 0 O in two halves, each pivoted to the lug b and having openings 0 and. downwardly-projecting lugs c at the inner meeting edges, checks 0" to fit against the lug b", and knobs 0', substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed in the presence of the undersigned witnesses.

JAMES G. BAILEY.
